Anyone have motive gears in their car? if so do they have a "whine" i called a shop to ask about installation costs of 4.10 motive gears and he told me not to get motive because they suck basically lol. He said they are always noisy and that i wont want them. He reccomends the ford racing gears. Just want to see if anyone can give me some feedback on them before i have them installed. The motive gears that is.

 

i first had motives... whined.... had the same shop put in frpp and its been quiet ever since.

 

ya i got motive gears put in a month ago and theres so much gear whine, despite what american muscle said, id recommend the ford racing

 

I'm running Superior 3.55's in mine, quiet. I've heard from a few others that Motives aren't that great. It's hard to go wrong with FRPP's though, usually the factory stuff is very good quality.

 

thanks for the responses.

guess he wasnt lying then. lol

 

might sound dumb but on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being the worst how annoying is the noise or whine from the gears? i dont mind a little noise but if its obnoxious then im not doing it.

 

ya i thought the same way lol my cars loud so I was just like ya I can put up with a litttle noise, I took it back the next day lol. For my car, the whine is when its decelerating so theres no exhaust noise to cover it up so they adjusted it a little and its a little better but not enough to just tune out. I will eventually change them out once i find a 3.90 thats not supposed to whine. I would say its like a 7-8 now, it was a 9 1/2 before they adjusted them lol

 

that sucks. but yeah the guy at the shops exact words were "we'll put em in but you aint gonna want em!!! been doing this a long time and their always noisy" lol **** my life

 

Mine did it only when keeping a steady speed or slowly accelerating. Once you put your foot in it a little it went away.

 

I wish thats how mine was, after i took it back they said they would adjust it and see but it might happen when im accelerating, i would be happy with that cuz i dont think id be able to hear it over my loud exhaust lol
